"Viewed another way, a 35 minute 0.4g motor flight translates to a time of 52.5 minutes for a 0.6 g motor, and that is an incredibly high bar."
  
 This comparison cannot be made. A 35 minute flight on a 1.4 g F1D does not correspond to anything on a 1.2 g F1D because the lost 0.2 g of rubber is being turned into efficiency increases.
  
 Brett's flight is not superhuman unless he is too, since he did it twice for a two flight total of 60:00 after outclimbing the site *three* times.
